2009 BMW M3 Convertible Caught With Its Top Down

The sun was shining, the weather was sweet so what else better than drop the top and hear that almighty V8 sing like a beast! Carscoop poetry (…) aside, this grey-haired gentleman in the thinly camouflaged 2009 BMW M3 Convertible was caught in action by a reader of Topspeed circulating in Augsburg, Germany without a (spy)care in the world.

Like its coupe sibling, the hardtop convertible version of the 2008 M3 is fitted with the new Bavarian powerhouse, a 4.0-Liter V8 engine developing maximum output of 309 kW/420 hp plus peak torque of 400 Nm/295 lb-ft at 3,900 rpm (maximum engine speed 8,400 rpm). If you’ve got 5 min, take an... acoustic look at the Coupe here. Due to the slightly heavier body expect the M3 Convertible to race from 0-100 km/h (62mph) in a fraction over five seconds vs 4.8 sec of the M3 Coupe, with a limited top speed of 250 km/h (155mph). The Convertible will go on sale in the first half of 2008 along with the sedan version of the M3. -Continued: Click "Read More..." below
